Hat Trick Beverage in Joint Venture with Raw Dog

ENCINITAS, Calif.--April 28, 2005--Hat Trick Beverage Inc. (Pink Sheets:HKBV) today announced that it has signed a joint venture agreement with Raw Dog Distribution in Los Angeles. Under the terms of the agreement Hat Trick will acquire the distribution services from Raw Dog, and will operate under the name Blue Line Distributing Inc. Raw Dog currently services over 1,000 independent accounts in the Greater Los Angeles and Orange County areas.

“The acquisition of Raw Dog greatly complements our business with Blue Line in San Diego. Not only will Hat Trick’s product line have increased distribution and exposure in Los Angeles and Orange counties, but we will also be able to sell Raw Dog’s customer products through Blue Line. This is just more evidence of our commitment to grow our company nationwide,” stated Larry Twombly, CEO of Hat Trick Beverage. Hat Trick projects 2005 revenues for Blue Line to exceed $1 million.

Hat Trick Beverage, located in Encinitas, produces and distributes three water-based beverages: Snap Z Energy drink, a bag-in-a-box beverage sold in bars and restaurants; Vitality Beverage, a sugar-free vitamin-enriched beverage; and Dos Lagos, an agua fresca drink for the growing Hispanic community.
